"My husband and I had a lovely evening at the Oxford Arms. The food was delicious (especially the triple cooked chips - yum!) and the service friendly and polite. Cosy and inviting on a particularly cold and rainy night. "

"Dinner on the evening of Good Friday was thoroughly enjoyed by our family. We have nothing bad to say about the experience except my wife should have chosen Bakewell Tart with Wine Braised Pear for herself instead of Cheesecake but that was hardly the restaurant's fault. ;¬)"

"8 of us with varied orders from a good menu all enjoyed our meals in pleasant surroundings with efficient, pleasant staff, having enjoyed good beer before that from a good selection.
Maybe a little expensive, but that did not detract from a good experience.
We would certainly return."

"My and my other half have visited this place recently to meet up with some friends who we haven't seen for a while. As our friends were a little late due to traffic, we made a really good use of the bar area which looked very inviting and raised our hopes high for the restaurant itself. The choice o..."f ales was broad and the wine list was pretty extensive accommodating for all budgets.
When it came to the meal, the service provided was perfect and the food tasted absolutely fantastic with full flavours and good-size portions. We share just the two starters between the four of us which was plenty. For mains we have chosen the chicken, burger and pork mains which all lived up to the expectations and the reviews. The overall evening was great and we could have not asked for a more perfect location.

"We went to the Dashwood to celebrate our daughters 13th birthday, it was her choice! Interesting menu, not too long but with plenty to tempt you. Choices were a smoked venison salad, wild mushrooms on toast and a smoked chicken, mango and Serrano ham salad. All very tasty with good portion sizes,..." nicely presented with good dressings on the salads. Mains were a pork belly with mustard mash and greens - a first rate sauce, deep and flavourful; a confit duck leg with red cabbage and mash - delicious, crisp and tender; lastly the Dashwood burger, simply about e best we had tasted anywhere, juicy, pink and tender. Very nice Merlot by the glass and we were offered a choice of still, sparkling or tap water! Staff are smiley, professional and very pleasant. Sadly we could not stay for dessert and coffee although they sounded simply scrummy as there was a table of 15 in the restaurant who clearly felt that the whole restaurant would be interested in their conversation. IT was so loud we...

"We visited the restaurant on a Friday evening for our wedding anniversary. The restaurant is decorated nicely, which is a mixture of contemporary and traditional, the tables are set far enough apart to ensure privacy, which is quite a rarity these days and the playlist good without being intrusive!..."
Menu choice was excellent with a good selection of specials (especially good for vegetarians, how unusual to have more than one choice!). The food itself was lovely and the dessert fantastic, all the better for knowing its homemade.
If there is any room for improvement, it would be the staffing. Whilst we were attended to and the staff polite, a few more smiles would have made us feel more welcome, that said we will come again on the basis of the food!

"Found this pub in the Good Food Guide (it's never let us down!). A sunny day, it was lovely to dine outside. Had the most incredible Crab - best we've had anywhere! The rest of our meal was excellent too. We'll definitely return to the Oxford Arms"

"We stopped quiete by chance for a late lunch in this delightful place, after having almost lost hope for a decent lunch having escaped from an awful pub just 30min before! The staff was very helpful and allowed us to have a meal despite our late arrival. We tried the venison burger and the pork bell..."y roast which were very nice. Portions were generous, the pork was very tender and the chips with bloody Mary dip were to die for! The menu was lovely and we were tempted by all the day specials. The atmosphere was very nice, with a country side chic decor. We also indulged in a rum chocolate mousse, and some home made truffles. The cherry on the cake for my Italian tastebuds was finishing the meal with a decent espresso! The Oxford Arms will definetly see me again!

"We loved our dinner here. The staff were friendly, funny and professional, dealing with good grace with some tricky customers on an adjoining table to us. The food was top-notch and there were some interesting wines available, including a Marc de Gewürztraminer digestif that I'd never seen anywher..."e else before, so felt compelled to try. A delicious way to round off an excellent meal.

"Dinner for two on 6th June 2015, skipped entres and ordered pork belly and steak burger for main courses, with raspberry & pistachio ice cream and meringue, and apricot, walnut and ginger sticky toffee pudding desserts to follow. Experience as follows: service was attentive without making us feel ru..."shed; food served piping hot and tasted excellent, quantity just about right for our preference. Prices very reasonable, considering we'd normally have to pay more for lower quality. Minor exception being the cheese board, which I would have considered ordering at a lower price than that listed. Decor not too fussy, ambience was good from our arrival at 7pm until leaving just before 9 - consider the venue busy from half 8- ish. An enjoyable dining experience all round, would go again.

"I had lunch with a friend in this delightful pub tucked away in the picturesque village of Kirtlington. This was my first visit.
The staff were very pleasant and attentive. The meal was absolutely fine with nothing to complain about.
I'd recommend it without hesitation. It was surprising th..."at it wasn't busier.

"Ate here on a Saturday lunchtime in June as a family group and as it was a nice day, we sat on the terrace at the back of the pub. Very pleasant surroundings and informal but friendly and efficient service. I had a trio of home made sausages with mash and the other four members of the party had th..."e venison burger. All were hot, fresh and very tasty and the puds were great too. Not too expensive - around £20 a head including drinks. Highly recommended.

"My wife and I dropped in for lunch on our way south from Birmingham. Kirtlington village is very picturesque and the Dashwood reflects the olde world atmosphere but with a modern twist. Food and service were very good, pleasant and friendly. Would certainly go back again when in the area."

"I thought I'd revisit this restaurant for a romantic birthday lunch, after several years away. The ambience, service, and of course the food, was second to none. My venison burger wasn't on the menu today, but was replaced by an awesome lamb burger. This place has a lovely feel and you are made to f..."eel very welcome and all your needs are taken care of. Don't take my word for it, visit as soon as you can for some wonderful food and chat.
My only comment on the negative side, just for reference, was that I was a bit too chilly. This may have been me, but I'm sure I can decide that next time.

"Heading towards Oxford we wanted lunch, the main roads were busy, so we took a detour, and boy were we glad. It was beautifully sunny and we sat outside. My husband had the Ploughman's which came with 3 types of cheese, thick slice of ham, 2 types of pickles, salad and baguette. I ordered the loc..."al sausage baguette which came with chips. Absolutely delicious and so filling we did not require feeding later that day. Would definitely visit again.
